Service is always super friendly and knowledgeable on their wines. Food is excellent but the wine is the best kept secret in town

Had lunch with some co-workers and was really impressed with the food quality and taste. The service was incredible and the ambiance was amazing. I will definitely take my husband for dinner on my next visit! read more

Atmosphere is very nice, great place to bring visiting family & friends. They have wine flight & sangria flights to taste. Sorry no pics. Will be back read more

These two stars are for the ambiance and the server, both of which were very nice. But, unfortunately, that's all the stars I can give, primarily because it was not a good value. $47 for a charcuterie board for four sounds reasonable. But this charcuterie was barely a charcuterie for ONE! And an extra $9 to add a few pieces of chicken to my flatbread? ($25 for this flatbread. A flatbread, y'all. With no sides!) Our meals came out at different times too, so by the time the last meal arrived, the first meals were cold. Honestly, I don't mind paying a decent price for a decent meal. But this was not that. Way overpriced for the quality and quantity. read more

I have to say I was a bit hesitant due to the location, but what a diamond in the rough! The outdoor seating is what tempted me to try this place and I'm so glad we did. Great service. The food was hands down the best food I've had since moving to Virginia almost two years ago. The charcuterie boards were amazing and had a wonderful variety of flavors. I had the steak, but honestly, I wish I would've gotten the pulled pork sandwich, it had a mustard tinge to it and the flavors lingered with a hint of smoke. I am so glad my brother-in-law let me try his. Seriously I think I could eat almost anything on this menu. It is definitely going to be one of my favorite spots and the prices were reasonable. If you were looking for a place to impress your out of towners, this is definitely the spot. read more

The flat bread had so much flavor and tasted amazing. It paired really well with the wine. The service was incredible as well. I would definitely recommend and I'm excited to come back. read more

Waters Edge Wineries - The Italian flat bread with miscela rossa red wine - Wineries Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

We tried worse Edge Winery and bistro last night while my family is here visiting for the holiday and just wanted a girl's night out. When we arrived the lighting and the main entrance was very dark and almost missed the parking lot they may want to think about adding a little bit more light in the lots for the night time. When we walked in the scenery is gorgeous and everything is made on an open concept with lots of glass windows to view all of the wine and products available. We had reservations so we were immediately seated although it was not very busy when we first arrived. Our server arrived at the table full of energy and a big smile! She recommended a few wines and flights for us to try as well as her thoughts on appetizers and entrees. We did have one child in the group and he ordered his dinner early. The children's meal is not a lot of food so we had to order two of the same children's entrees for my son. It took a little long for the food to start arriving but the drinks were poured and brought to the table fairly quickly. Most of us order the steak and Frites. All but one of the state entrees had to be returned because the stakes were severely overdone. The temperatures on the state's range from medium rare through medium and they all arrived well done. One person object to not retry the state and went with the cauliflower flatbread. She advised that the cauliflower crust was amazing and that it did not taste like cauliflower. One person and the party had the edge burger and we also had an edge burger to go they stated that the burger was phenomenal it was cooked to the correct temperature and seasoned to perfection. We had a vast range of wines and sangrias at the table. For myself I created my own flight and only like one of the sangrias which was flavored with peach and love the pink Moscato. I am a gusher for more of a dessert wine and as a result the paint Moscato was my favorite and I ordered an additional glass to eat with my meal. If there could be one suggestion I would suggest making your sides like your french fries towards the end of the prop of your meal so that when it comes out your sides are warm to match the main entree. We did get the surprise treat of having trivia night and which we thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back for that event! Overall we enjoyed our night out and really enjoyed the great customer service. read more

Waters Edge Wineries - Delish - Wineries Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

We went to Water's Edge for an early Mother's Day dinner with our toddler, another couple and their toddler. I wish I could tell you how the food was, but unfortunately we didn't eat anything after being there for nearly 2 hours. Not only was service unbelievably slow, there was not one ounce of accountability taken by the staff. I worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years in various front of house positions. I know that an experience like the one we had is not the fault of one person. It was a complete failure on behalf of the entire team. While our server was friendly at first, and we got the toddlers quietly playing, things started to turn when we waited an extremely long time for our drinks. Yes, it was Mother's Day, so I would expect a busy restaurant to be a bit slower than usual, however the place was not that busy at 4:45. The experience continued to go downhill. Everything took forever, and we could not get anyone's attention despite our efforts. When 6:20 rolled around and we sat with empty drinks and no food, we had to throw in the towel. It was time to get the toddlers home, fed and to bed. It was incredibly disappointing for us mom's, and our poor husbands who tried to take us out for a nice Mother's Day. We saw other tables searching around for servers, and one couple seated near us got up and left after sitting without attention for quite a while. I can understand being short staffed, if that was the case. What I cannot understand is that nobody came over to our table to check on us, acknowledge what was going on, or take any measures to make our experience better. I walked around looking for someone who may be a manager, but there was nobody. The server checked in once, probably 20-30 minutes after taking our order and said our food was coming up soon. That was about 35 minutes before we paid for the drinks with the bartender (since we couldn't find our server) and left. Nobody else ever came to our table... not a manager, not a busser or food runner, host, anyone. I can solidly say I will not be going back, or recommending this place to anyone. What an unbelievable disappointment. read more

We had the truffle fries appetizer, quite tasty! I had the Mediterranean salad with chicken, lemon balsamic dressing and she had the Tuscan salad with crab cake. The Mediterranean was loaded with fresh vegetables and the chicken was tasty, juicy and tender! It was a little light on arugula for my liking but still delicious! The crab cake was full of crab and seasoned wonderfully. I had a beer even though it's a winery. The server was attentive without hovering. The atmosphere is bright and airy. There is a nice bar looking out a window toward the river where you can see the world go by. Will be going back! read more

This is a new spot, I found using "Yelp." So glad I patronized this place. Very well appointed, "Maritime" forward decor and ambiance; true to its name. Everything I had from the menu was exceptional. read more

I went here with my husband and friends. We did a sangria flights, a mimosa flights, and several appetizers to share. The food was excellent, loved the atmosphere, the waitress was very attentive, and I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be going back! read more

It was a rainy day and traffic was terrible, I did a quick search for a decent place to eat and found Waters Edge. We were seated promptly, there was a good selection for food and drinks, something for everyone. I did notice that we were the only ones in tshirts, not that it was an issue, just a mental note for a return visit for a bit of a nicer shirt! Couldn't ask for a better place to grab a hasty dinner. read more

What a nice place! Inside is beautifully adorned with great ambiance. Great wine and service! We will definitely return.

Don't order the charcuterie. It was a couple tiny slices of cheese and meat and nothing else for $26. Very disappointing. The rest of the meal: wine, salmon, and skillet cookie were good although the kitchen was slow and we waited a long time for our food. read more

Ambience, food, service all five stars. We're mentally listing friends and family we can take on our next visit.

We love this place!! We have so many favorites...chimichurri short ribs, pizza, burgers, and amazing desserts! Perfect place for corporate events or a small gathering with friends. Also with amazing service this restaurant is deserving of a 5 star! read more

The food was great. I enjoyed my sangria wine flight. I would definitely go back to try more sangrias they have! Plenty of options for everyone including mimosas! read more

Welcome to Norfolk Waters Edge Winery! I was able to experience this Winery and Bistro with my family on opening weekend. What a great location and atmosphere! This remodeled space is beautiful, light and fun inside and out! Must Try Wines! The bold bodied Brava Red, the Pearl California Viognier, and the Almond Sparkling Wine! Must Try Food! Yes! They opened with a generous limited menu with more to come. I loved the California Bowl, almost baha Mexican with Israeli couscous, bits of red and poblano pepper and roasted corn, sliced of avocados and chicken breast. I tasted my moms burger and truffle fries, both very tasty. We ended with the skillet cookie and churro fries, which are perfect for sharing and was a great sweet ending to our dinner. Really looking forward to returning and considering joining as a wine club member you get free tastings and heavy discounts or free bottles depending on what level you choose. On opening weekend they had local musicians and I really enjoyed that! Like a big bonus in my book! read more

Poor attitude by servers. I went there on a Monday, arrived at 7:25 pm, the restaurant closes at 8. The host said closed , "always close at 7:30." Won't go there again. read more

Food service ambience - all worth the visit!! There is pride built into this restaurant. So glad we found this spot

I am a craft beer guy vice craft wine, but I must say we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves tonight at Waters Edge Winery. From the nice lady that seated us to Dennis, our waiter, to the chef who asked us about our food, the staff here really made us feel welcome. We enjoyed flights of Italian, Red, and Sangria wine and a mixture of flat breads, sandwiches, appetizers, and a curry dish. Everything was tasty. We will definitely be back! read more

I love what they did with the place. The aesthetic is great, and it was very clean. The wait staff was amazing. The wine was very good. Though I not sure it matched the price. Unfortunately, the food fell short. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. A little crispy, and the feta and honey played well against each other. The crab cakes were good but not great, and defiantly over cooked. Same with the zesty shrimp skewers. The seasoning was tasty but they were over cooked, and I didn't care for the peach dipping sauce. The sauce basically tasted like peach preserves. The crab dip was pretty standard thought it was odd that served it with toast and not the red pepper pita that is on the menu. I didn't inquire as to why. The worst though was the parmesan truffle fries. The worst though was the parmesan truffle fries. The fries were cold, rubbery, and looked like they were just frozen out of a bag. The parmesan was rather large pieces shaved on top. Without being melted or anything it was falls off when you try to eat the fries. The truffle aioli was OK. There are too many great restaurants in Norfolk to mess around here. It should have told me something when I couldn't a Wednesday reservation at my first two choices and Waters Edge wasn't even at 25% capacity. I might go back or wine and try a different appetizer but that it all. read more

I had an amazing experience at Watersedge Winery last night. I had Tori as my server and she was delightful, very knowledgeable about the wine and food. The food was fantastic and the steak was cooked to perfection! Will be coming back again! read more

This has become my go to restaurant to take friends and family. Excellent food and service.

Yes, everything was amazing. We tried the wine tasting flight or white and red and left with a wine bottle as well!

This is my third time eating at Water's Edge. While the service was good, my friend and I waited at least 30 minutes for our meals during a not busy brunch. When our food finally arrived, my steak and eggs were overcooked, and my friend's burger was undercooked. I sent my well-done eggs back to be redone as the over easy I requested, but the second time, they were still overdone. The management did discount our meals due to these issues, but I certainly hope for better on my next visit. read more

Awesome! Great wines and food. Inside is really nice, so happy Waters Edge finally opened, it's a must go to place for sure.

My daughters and I had a delightful evening wine tasting at Waters Edge Winery and Bistro. Our server, Paige was lovely, answered all of our questions, and presented us with beautiful wine flights on their signature wooden four wine glass carrier! We were impressed by the wide varieties of wines offered. Don't miss the charcuterie tray-gourmet cheeses, meats, crackers and more. To end our evening, Steven, the executive chef gave us a tour of this beautiful restaurant complete with banquet room, outdoor seating, and gift shop. We look forward to returning soon and joining the wine club! Cheers! read more

The food and wine was great. Try the red or white wine flights you won't be disappointed. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings. Left here very happy! read more

Mother's Day 2024, I took nearly 20 people to the Water's Edge Winery in Norfolk to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. This Resturant turned out to be a huge disappointment leaving my day as I reflect filled with regret. I choose this establishment to celebrate my daughter's graduation from college. I paid $300 to reserve a private room as this was very special- this included NO FOOD. We had a party of 18 and we were given one server. For Starters- my expectation for this place were much greater than what was provided. Not once the entire time did a manager come into to thank us for choosing this establishment, congratulate my daughter, or to apologize for the lack and the lack luster service we received. Let me preference my complaint by saying I reserved my room 3 1/2 weeks prior to our reservation. So it's Mother's Day, Sunday crowd, and graduation. Upon arrival we were seated and immediately told that they were completely out of beef short ribs AND no flat bread for the flat bread pizza but could have it made on panini if that's what we wanted to order. The explanation given was that they had a rush from after Church. When beef short ribs are , 40% of the menu HOW are you out??? How do you know that it's you have a party of 18 coming and not reserve food to accommodate the party??? There was no flat bread for the flat bread pizzas, and the food at best was lukewarm and the service was lack luster. Not one time did the manger come in to ask how we were doing, or extend congratulations to the graduate. There was no accommodation offered in the absences of what they didn't have. They should have called me to say they had run out of Food and given me the option to say I don't want to come and refund me my room fee. We ended up spending a nearly $1000 for NOTHING. As for the food: the crab cakes were HORRIBLE- they were supposed to be seared but they were burned- the second order wasn't any better. The pasta which apparently was only a Sunday item was tasteless. At the end of the day the best item ordered across the board was the burger. If you're looking to enjoy a glass of wine and have some less than over priced mediocre food I'd say try the winery. If you want a memorable experience with good food and service, drive to Northern VA or DC, bottom line just make a different selection. I now need to plan a graduation party to actually celebrate my daughter correctly. read more

Great service, awesome space, cool concept. But the wine is not good and there's no nicer way to put it. Making wine from grapes shipped across the country or juice shipped from another continent will not compete even with value-priced wine ($15 retail) made domestically or overseas. Unfortunately, the food was only a little better than the wine. Burrata appetizer was ok - cheese was rubbery, the balsamic glaze tasted cheap. Scallops tasted a few days old, rice was mushy. Salmon was dry. Green beans were very good - perfectly salted, flavorful, firm texture, crunchy. Cheesecake was unremarkable. For the price, you're better off heading somewhere downtown or purchasing your own seafood and wine and staying home. read more

Good wine, welcoming atmosphere, educated wine connoisseurs. Bringing winery experience to areas which normally cannot find wineries.

We live in Williamsburg and didn't know what to expect, so were very happy finding Waters Edge! We had the shrimp appetizer, jicama tacos and flank steak, all were great. We're not wine drinkers, so missed out on that. Next time we're in Norfolk, we'll choose Waters Edge again! read more
